Okay, so again, the Lakers are sold, Russell Westbrook is retiring.
Ben Johnson says something absurd. Monsey tells you how to
do a handshake in Stuo chats with Matt vs Kershon, Okay,
(00:45):
that all follows the WNBA Stephanie White in the Indiana Fever.
It is Groundhog's Day once again, Monty Belanos.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It sure is.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Did Pablo Tory investigate the Lakers? Did he give us
all the details on that?
Speaker 6 (00:58):
I'm just wondering, like he investigators?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Okay, so he had no idea even though he's an
investigative journalist when it comes to people doing sketchy things
with money with an NBA team.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
But it's not the Okay, not the Lakers. Okay, got it.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I'm Kawhi Leonard when I need a jumbo tron in
my living room. I go to Dektronics. Ectronics is the
only JumboTron for me. That's probably what Pabulatory is investigating
the Lakers. The Lakers for whatever may happen with Mark
Walter two billion dollars more than when he bought the
Lakers from for year ago.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's pretty good the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
He flipped them.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
That was a good turnaround.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Yeah, like if.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Flipping a house that was undone so quickly.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
If only the WNBA could flip the script, but it
ends up always being the same script.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
They need to tear down the house completely. There's no
flipping the WNBA.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
There's they need a one eighty. They don't need the
three sixty to get back to where they are. They
need the one eighty. And last night's story is not
what happened after the fever routed the New York Liberty.
That's what Stephanie White and others. I honestly thought, I
just silenced my phone yesterday.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
On that You just had your phone, not silent. It's fine.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Well, I wish the WNBA would be silenced, Yeah, because
they just keep talking and things keep happening, and I
just continue to scratch my head and say huh, and
if you don't know what we're talking about. It was
a pregame press conference from Stephanie White of the Indiana
Fever Monzi, who made a bunch of headlines for what
she said, how she said it, in the way that
(02:34):
she left the press conference. We here at Fox Sports
Radio and Stu gottson Company Live are going to bring
you the entire Stephanie White press conference, but we're going
to do it almost in a four part play. This
is Act one Stephanie White pregame last night prior to
the New York Liberty on the heels of the various controversies,
(02:57):
including the Djna Carrington follow on Sophie Cunningham and Stephanie
White also responding to her comments that she made in
saying that she didn't see the foul and stuck up
for Djingne Carrington after that game against the Chicago Sky.
This is part one, Act one of Stephanie White last night.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
This is more for an online community that's trying to
create narratives that simply don't exist, trying to create a
fabrication or disortion.
Speaker 8 (03:27):
Of who I am, of.
Speaker 9 (03:29):
What I'm about.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
Our players success our player's health and wellness. Our player
safety is always a top priority for me. One of
the things I pride myself on is my relationships with players.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
So I think she's talking about two separate things at
the beginning. When she talks about a portion of the
community trying to trying to divide the WMBA, I think
that could be wrong. I think like that could be
Clay Travis trying to start as Nashville balls team. That's
(04:01):
what I think of having the men play against the women.
I can understand why the WMBA is. I don't want that.
Can I hear act one just one more time, Chris Burfett,
So when you hear that first line, that's who I
think that she's referencing.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
You're probably right on that.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
This is more.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
For an online community that's trying to create narratives. Yeah, yeah,
simply don't exist, trying to create a fabrication or disortion.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Of who I am, of.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
What I'm about now that changes our.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
Players success, our player's health and wellness. Our player safety
is always a top priority for me.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
One of the things I pride myself on is my
relationships with players.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
You're it's funny because she's like, these narratives that aren't there,
that we're making up. But I'm sorry, I actually have
not seen you straight up defend your players the way
I think you should have with everything that has surrounded
the Indiana fever. I straight up lie right there. We're
not these narratives. We're not pulling them out of nowhere.
(05:02):
It is something that you have actually done the last
couple of years. In my opinion, we can even talk
about Alyssa Thomas and the fists to the throat of
Caitlin Clark when she spoke on that she definitely gave
more grace to Alyssa Thomas than I thought needed to
be because it was your player that was with the
fist in their throat. Even what we said yesterday with
(05:25):
Cunningham and Djne caring tens like, even if you believe that,
you don't say that because that's your team. You stand
by your team entirely, and you have not done that.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I agree wholeheartedly. And at some point in this segment
we'll probably play what Stephanie White had to say after
the foul, But I want people to get lost in
this entire speech that Stephanie White made here is act too.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
For those who have anything to say about the play
in the last game, I didn't see the play in
real time.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
I went straight to a press conference.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
I thought the play got called right, thankfully Sophie's Okay,
was it egregious?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
When you have a chance to watch that over and
over and over on replay, you can see that I
didn't have that in real time.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
What I laughed when I heard that the first time,
I laughed out loud.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
It reminds me of the guy who cheated in golf,
the Thief yesterday, who said, I mean we were giving
shots back to the field. I mean, that's what we
were doing like that. That was the excuse. That's her excuse.
She didn't she didn't have the real real time. But
that's not her fault that she didn't have the real time.
She didn't see it. But now when she's saying that
she didn't see the clip, we've now seen see the
(06:38):
foul in its entirety. You're saying it's splattered all over
social media.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Oh, it was one of the funniest clips after this
that there is the foul and standing right behind the
fowl with her arms crossed.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
On the sideline is Stephanie White.
Speaker 10 (06:51):
It looked like she had a clear view of what happened,
and even if you did it okay, Even if you
did it Sophie Cunningham's reaction should have enough for you
to know that it was not okay.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
That is your default. Your default is your team. Yes,
when you don't have the information, you don't default to
the other side and say it's not.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
That bad, great point.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Your default is to support your team, and she did
not do that. After this intermission, we now take you
to Act three of The Stephanie White Show.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
I take personally any suggestions that I don't one hundred
always have my players back. I ride with them ten
toes down all the time.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
All the time. They know that it's a shame that
we can't have an.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Opportunity to talk about what great basketball they're playing because
they are playing. The reality is with me, I will
always lead with love, I will always lead with grace,
I will always lead with humility, and I will always
lead with integrity.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
Doesn't mean I'll always get it right. I'm also human.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
The hate, the fear mongering, the divisiveness, the stuff that's
trying to hijack.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Our league will not win. It won't win. We are united,
we are connected, we will not be divided.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Where was all of this before you were personally attacked?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Sure, where was this statement?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Because said enough?
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Yeah, it changed that the tone of the of the
statement changed.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I also think that the head coach of the Indiana
Fever is not an easy job. But when she says
I ride with my players ten toes down one hundred
percent of the time, and she's coming off of a
game where she didn't ride with her players right like
I would say ninety eight point five percent of the time.
Because the last time it didn't seem like she was
riding with Sophie Cunningham and the other Caitlyn Clark instances
(08:45):
or whatever the case may be. She could say that
she was, but in this since then again she defaulted
to the other team while her own player was sitting
there bloodied after the unnecessary foul, and then it becomes
a change of they are unified. Let's talk about great basketball.
If Jimmy Butler Karl Anthony Towns in the face and
(09:08):
drew blood in a game, because there's a little history
between the two and Mike Brown after the game sat
down and said, well, Jimmy Butler is a great player.
I'm sure he probably didn't mean anything by it. Could
you imagine what the New York media would have done.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Not fly Oh no, no.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And by the way, that has nothing to do with
transgenders playing. That has nothing to do with race in
the WNBA, That has nothing to do with heterosexuals or
homosexuals in the WNBA. This is a player committing a
foul on your player in drawing blood, and you defaulting
to the other team's player by saying they probably didn't
(09:47):
mean it. It probably wasn't that bad. They're they're good playing.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
She's tough, she's tough like those.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
That is the issue, which, by the way, is more
basketball than you can It's about team, it's about players,
and if your sticky up for the other player, that
means you're not sticking up for your player, which tells
me that you're also not unified. Then in the way,
so that whole Act three was basically a lie with
the numbers, with the words, with the unifying all of that.
(10:13):
Complete bs, it's not the reality.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
No, it's not.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
In this Act three, I'm telling you, I felt like
she changed the script I feel like we moved to
a different play.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Sure now moving on later into the program.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Yeah, it's like, wait, how did we shift to this? Okay,
all right? Do we have the final act?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
All right?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Well, now we do because it ends with a with
a grand finale. Okay, let's go the final act. Give
me the fireworks from Stephanie White.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
Every day these women put their ass on the line.
Every day when they go low, we go high.
Speaker 11 (10:43):
Love will win, Grace will win, Humility will win, and
kindness will win. I stand by them. I will always
stand by them. Everybody else can go to hill.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Kindness will win, go to hell. Well, within ten seconds
of each other, Grace will win, Love will win, go
to hell, Love, grace, kindness will all win, go to hell.
What a what a cherry on top? Magnificent. She wants
(11:20):
the league like it was before. Just go, just go
off in a far do whatever you do. Just That's
that's what Stephanie White wants. I'm what really resonates with me.
Manci Is you knew this was a moment, This was
a pregame speech, This had been written, this had been
gone over hours. I'm sure she read it to her
(11:42):
her partner, Lisa Salters, who you know from the ESPN broadcast,
like is this gonna is this you know for media wise,
is this going to be good? And that this was
the opportunity to do it, and it just completely missed
the mark, like an Angelry's layup, like it was just
it was brick city. It did to dress the real issues.
We are actually talking about basketball. We're talking about you
(12:04):
not sticking up for your player, which isn't something coming
from the outside. It's at any level of basketball whatsoever.
So you can talk about kindness, you can talk about love,
you can talk about going to hell. She completely missed
the mark in what she read yesterday.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
I also feel like, if you're trying to deliver a
speech and trying to make a make a point and
get a message across that you really want people to
resonate with, you can't be angry when delivering the message.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You can't. And so throughout this entire thing, she was angry.
She was mad, but it felt like you're mad.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Because you're getting personally attacked because I haven't heard you
say any of this when the attacks were around your
team or other.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Women in the WNBA. So I don't know where this was.
But from the beginning.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
She seems like she's on the defensive things, on the
defensive side of things, and I don't. It's like it
didn't resonate, It didn't hit the way you think, the
way you thought because you were just angry the whole time,
and you didn't You didn't even again, you switched plays
in that third act.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
We completely missed the message there. You went from one
message and then you took us to somewhere else. So
it didn't work. It didn't work like you said planned.
Who knows how many times she read it. It was
not effective.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
We all know people who have a difficult time accepting fault.
Some are better than others, right, But do we know
the people that have a hard time doing it? What
they do is they deflect? Will they point out something
else that somebody else did wrong. I think she understands
that she was wrong in that situation. Heck, she even
kind of admitted it, saying like I didn't see the replay,
(13:36):
But she didn't take accountability for that. She didn't explain
why she defaulted to taking Djna Carrington's side and not
Sophie Cunningham's side. And I think that's also the reason.
Maybe like why she's angry, and she's angry at herself,
so she's angry at everything else. But at this time
she may have showed her true colors or showed her
(13:56):
colors at the time of how she feels. Because the
anger and the statement makes it seem like you don't
want anybody talking about this league, and the league isn't unified.
It still isn't after these couple of years. I don't
know what the NBA is is unified, but I'll tell
you what. Like as a whole, they sure seem to
be on a on a variety of topics. There are rivalries.
(14:17):
They're Jimmy Butler, Karl Anthony Towns. You know, Jalen Green,
Kid Cunningham don't like each other like there's there's a
there's there's rivalries within the rival reason of how things
are going. The djn A Carrington rivalry has been around
for a while, so you know it's there. So if
there was anybody to commit a foul on your player
that you would go against, it would be Djna Carrington
(14:39):
for what she has tried to do to Caitlin Clark
or to Sophie Cunningham. In this instance, this isn't that
player's first time, So you can't tell us that you're
unified when there's obviously the divide between those players. They
want to make it at all kumba ya sort of
thing and keep everybody else out. We're actually talking about basketball,
that's the thing, Mounts. This is an actual basketball thing,
(15:02):
and that's all that they want us to talk about.
If this would have happened in the NBA, the New
York media would have taken Mike Brown and raked them
over the coals if he didn't stand up for his player.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Absolutely, and I like what you said, you're right. She
didn't even acknowledge it. She should have said you're right.
So I let Sophie.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Down on that.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
That was my bad.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Yes, that's just that line. I let Sophie down. That
wasn't my intention at the time. I won't do that again.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
But she didn't. She did not do that. You're so right.
She went around it.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
She made us believe that she was leading in that direction,
but then she never got there. She took a turn
and it was like, oh, okay, so we've moved on
from this. I agree with you that it's tough. It's
got to be tough. To be the Indiana Fever coach,
it has to be tough. But the stuff that I
feel like I'm being critical with her about are things
that I think are obvious, like you didn't have you
(15:49):
have not had your team's back multiple times, and perfect
example of dj A Carrington. Like I told you, I
don't even know if we said it during the show,
if I said it to you in the pre show,
that I shouldn't be able to see all the terrible
fouls that djn A Carrington has done over her career.
If this was a one off, if this was just
a one random Oh she played tough here, then I
(16:10):
should not be able to see all of these other
fouls that have come up because this happened. It's not
your first time. And like you said, Stephanie White, you
knew that, you knew that it wasn't the first offense
against your own team, but it wasn't dj Carrington's first offense.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Just in general, she tends to foul fell real, real, real,
real hard. If not pull your hair when you're coming down.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Stephanie White, in a summation of your word, says, the
buck stops here because it happened to me. Like, that's
that's what. It's not that the buck stops here. It's well,
now it happened to me, So now now we're gonna
put a set.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Yes, now it's not just Caitlin Clark getting the death threats. Okay,
now I'm mad.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
It wasn't tense the entire two minute speech because there
was one moment of levity. O why okay, at least
for me, is when the reporter thought that Stephanie White
had stop to take questions. All right, this is what
that sounded like.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
You can see that I didn't have that in real time.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
I take personally. I mean I thought she was done too.
I get it.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
There was no novel, we'll be taking questions. It was
a dramatic pause.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Give it up for that reporter though. He was like,
I'm gonna I'm gonna be the one. I'll try me.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
See.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I thought his grace period was sufficient. Yes, yes, I
thought it was very sufficient. A but I think was
a light moment in what seemed to be a tense
situation in Indiana. Caitlin Clark did address Stephanie White's comments
after the fever rout of the Liberty there.
Speaker 12 (17:50):
Was no way we were losing this game for her,
and you know it's tough, Like that's my head coach.
Like I hated that our fans booed her before the game.
That made me a little sick, to be honest. And
you can disc and this and that, and I get it,
it's professional sports. People are going to boo but like,
at the end of the day, that's our head coach,
and we're going to ride for her and we're always
going to have our back and that's never going to
tear our locker room apart.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
I think what's what's key is I don't think that
they I don't think that the ten fifteen thousand fans
that that watched the game last night knew about Stephanie
White's comments pregame. I think they booed her for what
she didn't say with the Stephanie Cunningham agreed. So Sophie
Cunningham follow from dj A Carrington. Now that's why I
think she got booted, not from what she said in
the two minutes prior, because those things don't get out
(18:32):
to the media as quickly as you would think they would.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
But what a great answer by Kaitlyn Clark.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Sure, what a great answer because you know, I I
also think Caitlin Clark doesn't love Stephanie.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Why.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
You can just kind of see the way that they
have handled each other in their three years together, you
know what I'm saying, Like you can tell that there's
a little bit of I don't know what it is,
That's what I think watching it from the side. But yet,
like you said, she's still defended her coach.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
She's still she did with default, default to defend my coach,
even if I don't feel like it.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Jason Stewart's the show's executive producer. I know you love this, WNBA.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
She's been remiling.
Speaker 13 (19:10):
Yes, I do. If they go low, we're gonna go high.
Now go to hell. Going to hell is the lowest
of Well. I thought that was great. I do like
the fact that Stephanie White in this moment is really
trying to like take up for her and her league
against all these online people. The online people that are
(19:32):
instigating this derisiveness, I guess, are the division, and within
her two minute SoundBite she's creating, she's making the division wider.
Like over the last twenty four hours, those same people
that were riding her for not reacting the right way
just exacerbated their reaction, like she didn't do anything to
(19:56):
calm the waters here. There was no de escalation in
this moment.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
And I think that by her getting booed again, I
think the fans boot her for how she reacted to it.
Those aren't fifteen thousand bots sitting in the stands. Those
aren't actual people who aren't hiding behind avatars that let
you know how they feel. So don't think that this
is a you know, a right wing conspiracy sort of thing.
There are point like there's there's again you know, Clay
(20:24):
Travis and Clay doing the the Nashville Balls thing and
and his freedom and all that. It's that's, that's all whatever, okay,
And I think that in a way she's trying to
attack that stuff. I think so too, But ultimately she
is missing the mark on what is a big problem
(20:45):
within the league, and that is the division that's there.
So while she wants to tell everybody there to you know,
go to hell, she's missing out which right in front
of her, and that she became a victim to by
defaulting to her to the comments that she made prior's
it's tough. I I gave her the benefit of the
(21:05):
doubt so much because I thought it's a tough spot
to be. It's really one of the toughest head coaching
spots to be, I think, in because of how Caitlin
Clark and now Sophie Cunningham draws so much attention in
a certain way. You have to be really, really good
at it, and it's why the first coach is gone
and Stephanie White ended up moving in. But now it
(21:25):
feels like in a way she's either cracking under the
pressure or just now is letting her own feelings come out,
which isn't unifying by any means.

CBS or something like.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
That, Yes, sir, three for twelve bucks.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, Grant and Foster or something Foster and Grant, something
like that.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
Yeah, yes, yeah, or you know Walgreens China, whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Right, it's the greatest scam going because you'll buy a
three pack and how quickly will it take you to
lose all three of the glasses you have purchased.
Speaker 14 (23:32):
It depends on how many car trips or airplane rides
all beyond, because it's one per I've donated so many
readers to United Airlines collection, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Man, I don't like how conscious self conscious you are
about your aging.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It's okay, Matt, you look great, you look conscious.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Yes, it's self loathing. I am a self loathing Armenian man.
That's that's what I am.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
How excited are you to call this game? And it's
an to call this game. It's a big deal.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
It is, No, it is a big deal. I can't wait.
Speaker 14 (24:07):
Not only is the setting awesome, and the previous runnings
of this game have been fantastic successes that the kind
of you know, the Netflix treatment of this I think
is going to be even better, not to speak ill
of any previous rights holders. I just think that they've
reimagined a few things. There's going to be some fun.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
The packaging of it is going to be great.
Speaker 14 (24:29):
And by the way, we got a good game here too,
because when we found out it was Phillies Twins, We're.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
Like, okay, well we can talk about the Phillies.
Speaker 14 (24:38):
But the Twins have played themselves into postseason relevance this
year in a really kind of parody filled Ale Central
that they're every bit a team that could not only
grab a wild card spot, but a division title this year.
They're they're better than advertised. So we got a good game.
We got good people involved. I mean, I love spending
(24:59):
time with the group that Netflix has put together with
c C and Albert, Riz Hunter's and Lauren.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
It's a fun group, so I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 15 (25:07):
Man on the topic of the Phillies, a retiree recently
won an auction to join the Phillies radio booth to
call an inning. Lewis Cobb absolutely crushed it, and I'm wondering,
you know how hard play by play is, even though
you make it look easy. What did you think about
Lewis Cobb's performance.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Are you.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I heard about it?
Speaker 14 (25:26):
Yeah, I heard about it. I heard that Lewis Cobb
killed it. I haven't heard it yet, full disclosure. But
you know, look, I've said this for a long time.
There are three things that all fans think they can
do in baseball better than the people.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
That do it.
Speaker 14 (25:43):
Be a GM yep, I forget what the third one is.
The second one is be a play by play guy.
And then there's a third one. The only one to
write about is play by play guy. I think the
problem that most most fans are better than we are.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
Let's face it.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yes, I think manager is the third Perhaps.
Speaker 9 (25:58):
Manager exactly, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Mike frances The thought he could manage the Mets. He did,
I mean, did he really?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yes? At one point? Yes, yes, listen, he could do
any worse.
Speaker 14 (26:14):
Hey, they should have gotten rid of the whole team earlier.
They're playing really good baseball.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Right now, yes, when they don't need to be playing
good baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (26:35):
Matt, I'm glad you said that people think it's easy
because I have two sounds that I want you to
listen to. From twenty ten, Stu Gotts had an opportunity
to call a Marlins game with Marlin's team president at
the time, David Samson. This is the first sound from
that game.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
All right, great at Matt, So this is a pretty
big apat stuff?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Does that include the shot he took in the face
when he was catting in the on basis, so.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
You got to stop talking when there's a hit.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Logan Morrison with a big bass hit up the right
side and Martinez slides in it first first at third.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
No out here in the bottom of the third inning.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Somewhere in there you can hear right the building blocks
of a great play by play man.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Correct, no doubt.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
You cleaned it up at the end, and you talked
through the action. But who cares?
Speaker 14 (27:19):
That's one of my pet peeves, Like maybe on the
radio you're not supposed to talk through the action, But
if you're doing a game on TV, we can see,
the viewer can see that it's a ground ball to second,
throw to first, got him two away.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
Why do you need me to say that?
Speaker 14 (27:33):
But the old school Ronnie radio kind of starch caller
play by play guy still likes to use all those words. Yes,
I think you were closer to being good than you
thinks to gouts.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I did have a guy sliding into first base though,
But did he slide yes, but he's slid in the third.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
Oh that's a problem, so Matt.
Speaker 15 (27:56):
Then we have this sound from from a little later
in the.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Carpenter deal, some chin music. Did you get me?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Sand checks?
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Chin music normally isn't swung at an.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I got news for you. I was getting chim music in.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
No matter what today this is radio stew I was getting.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
So that's a levantard in the background laughing. It's not easy.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I gotta be honest with you, doing play by play
when you have a guy standing behind you who's just
laughing at you, you know, judging you.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
You know.
Speaker 14 (28:27):
Yeah, oh that's much much of my careers.
Speaker 9 (28:31):
It does make it harder, you're right. Yes.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Glenn Geffner, who was the voice of the Marlins at
the time, pulled me aside and said, hey, there's something
in there. It needs some work, but there is something.
The building blocks are there.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
He could hear it, you know.
Speaker 14 (28:43):
Did you ever want to do. It was that something
that when you were a younger guy you wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
No, I wanted to do exactly what it is I'm doing,
But they gave me the opportunity, and perhaps, you know,
I thought for a second, maybe I could parlay it
into something and turn into the next Matt prescursion or
boog Shandy, and I blew it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I mean, that's it.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Nah, You're doing just fine. Man.
Speaker 14 (29:01):
We all want to do what everybody else is doing, right.
It's it's like the old baseball players want to be musicians.
Musicians want to be baseball players. The same thing with
studio hosts versus play by play guys. You're all jealous
of the other person's ecosystem for all the wrong reasons.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, it's such a difficult thing to do, though. Man,
you make it sound and look so easy. How do
you do that? Man?
Speaker 9 (29:25):
You know it's I like it too much to not
do it like that.
Speaker 14 (29:30):
I just I guess I probably knew that I wanted
to do this well before I started down the road.
I mean it sounds cliche, but I was that geeky
kid who when everybody else was out skateboarding and looking
at you know, girls and dating. I was home listening
to the Oakland A's on the radio in the late
seventies when they were really crummy.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
But those were my teams. Yes, And you know, you
kind of go.
Speaker 14 (29:53):
Through the You got the fake microphone, you got the
tape recorders set up, you got a fake scorecard. And
I see it now materialized in my eleven year old
boy who's crazy for the NBA in the NFL, and
he's downstairs watching calls on YouTube and he's doing his
Joe Davis call. And you know, I told Joe the
other day I saw, I'm like, my son, does you?
Speaker 9 (30:14):
He does you?
Speaker 14 (30:14):
He's got your intonations And I tell him, like, you know,
I do that job too.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Son. It's like, yeah, but these guys, I like these guys.
But okay, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You're just an old man, your dad. Yeah, right, right,
who needs readers? Joe Davis doesn't any readers. I mean,
come on, yeah, that's right. Oh god, what'd you make
of I'm not interested in whether or not the Dodgers
are good for baseball or not. They're good for baseball, Okay,
let's just say that. What'd you make of the Brewers.
You have your Milwaukee shirt on right now and you
(30:45):
are the voice of the Brewers. Would you make of
Milwaukee not going after school? But I totally understand why
they didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I do too.
Speaker 14 (30:54):
I would have loved to have heard the compensation package
that led the Tigers to going with the la offer, right.
I think they were involved. I think they wanted to
be in that sweepstakes along with Tampa. I actually thought
the Phillies were going to land him because Dave Dombrowski's
a big game hunter and he got a great ad
(31:15):
in Luisa Rise. But if you're going to win two
to one games, you do it by bolstering and already
pretty good starting staff.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
I don't know that the Brewers were out bid.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
It felt like because of the timing of it, Stu Gods,
to be honest, it felt like the Tigers said decided
that was going to be the offer. And when you
when you close any competing bid thirty hours before a deadline,
you've already met up your mind somehow, which I thought
was weird.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Right, But for the Brewers to do that and give
up prospects and not be able to sign them with
no guarantee of winning a World Series. If you get
them and not being able to sign them to a
four hundred million dollar contract in the off season, why
would you do it?
Speaker 14 (31:56):
You know, look in two two thousand and eight when
they went out and got CC and he literally really
put the whole team on his shoulders and put him
into the postseason. It was a very short postseason run
to mortgage the future, as you said, And their whole
calculus is with Jackson, Curio, with Pratt, with Lara. These
young guys, get him there, sign him to reasonable contracts,
(32:16):
buy the arbitration years, and try to win with a
young corps before you have to overpay for a thirty
two year old starter.
Speaker 9 (32:22):
That's their methodology.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Field of Dreams. Where does that rank for you in
terms of all time movies?
Speaker 14 (32:29):
It's pretty close to the top because I've only seen
it once.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
I saw it in the theater when it was released.
I think what was at eighty nine something like that.
Speaker 14 (32:38):
Right time day Snip, I was working as a tour
guide at Universal Studios and I finished my shift with
the mechanical King Kong attraction in the one hundred and
seventy five pseudo French English Speakers that were delighted to
hear about my phil stories about Clint Eastwood and.
Speaker 9 (32:55):
Magnum Forest being shot on New York Street.
Speaker 14 (32:57):
And I walked to the Cineplex odeon and I watched
with a couple of guys. I watched Field Dreams on
the big screen, and I told myself, this sounds corny.
I told myself it was such a moving experience that
I was never going to watch this again, like on
a TV screen or now on a phone years later.
I think I almost have to now because I'm going
there and everybody tells me that the house is the
(33:18):
same like it's you're going to visit the actual set.
Speaker 9 (33:22):
So Field of Dreams for me is.
Speaker 14 (33:24):
Probably top two top three baseball films of all time,
no doubt.
Speaker 9 (33:30):
And probably in my top twenty overall.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yes, and now you get to call game there. I mean,
think about that from the theater to the game. By
the way, you must have been so good filling time
and the more whatever you're kid.
Speaker 9 (33:43):
You know, that's probably where I got my best I
thought about this.
Speaker 14 (33:47):
My best training is a play by play guy probably
came there, you know, like you're on this tram. It
breaks down, it's hot, it's you know, there's smog everywhere.
Speaker 9 (33:57):
It's the late eighties.
Speaker 14 (33:58):
I'm like, hey, here we are in six Points, Texas.
You know this is where Max Carey used to film
some of his famous silent westerns. And people are looking
at you with drool coming out of their mouth like
they don't give a rip about what you're saying. They
want to see the Jaws shark.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, yes, and you feel the need to talk. Field
That Dreams Game.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Phillies and Twins coverage begins at six thirty pm Eastern.
First pitch with Matt at seven thirty pm Eastern. And
it's going to be a fun night, a fun game.
I'm certain it will be fun for Matt as well.
We appreciate this, man. I would like to have you
around here more. I want to talk to you more. Man,
how come I have to wait for the Field of
Dream Game.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
To get you on?
Speaker 9 (34:38):
Dude, you know where to find me. I got very
little going on, honestly, I'm here.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
You know.
Speaker 14 (34:43):
I just watched faceball day. Really, that's all I do.
And I get ignored by my family.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
All right, let's grow all together. You and I do
it all right? Thank you talking to you guys.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Enjoy the game, man, I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 9 (34:53):
Yeah, appreciate it. Thanks guys, all.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Right, thank you.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Stu Gotson Company live on Fox Sports Radio. She's Monty Belano,
So I'm damn buyer in for Stewing Company. We're gonna
end this show as Russell Westbrook ended his NBA career,
So we teased it. We just don't have a lot
of time at this point to really give the proper
respect to a career that comes to an end for
a top seventy five player.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Absolutely, but what we can.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Do is we could talk to the handshake champion of
the world, Mancy Belanos. Now, for those that don't know,
Montie also works for the Dodgers, and yesterday it was
an opportunity where you got some FaceTime with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Sure did, Sure did. He's so great he met with
all of us.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
But yeah, I posted this picture so you can go
see it. But I posted a picture of our handshake
because so many people don't know how to properly shake
hands Dan, and it drives me not I hate shaking
a limp hand, I hate jackish like whatever you want
to call. There's so many variations of claw this that
you don't know how to shake a hand shake. You
(35:58):
put your hand and you shake it, and your firm
and your strength, and you could see both of our
arm muscles in that handshake.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
We were looking at each others. It was like we
were locked in. It was nice. It was such a
proper handshake. Learn how to do that.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
People Brett Fare would say, put it in the vice,
like that's what it would lock it in tight.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yes, I thought it was.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
A great handshake. I gotta be honest.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
I sent it to you, Jason right away.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Show it to me. Don't worry.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
If you've missed it and you're not on the group
chat with Manzi, you could go to Instagram, you could
go to Twitter or x is it. I'm sure it's
going to be on TikTok.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
This handshake.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Maybe it's the handshake of all handshakes. Find her at
Manzi Blanios on all platforms. Find me at Dan Bayer
on Fox Manzi. Would you rather have season tickets or
the Sunday ticket that's next.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Yeah,

Please give this you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Okay, so again, the Lakers are sold, Russell Westbrook is retiring.
Ben Johnson says something absurd. Monsey tells you how to
do a handshake in Stuo chats with Matt vs Kershon, Okay,
(00:45):
that all follows the WNBA Stephanie White in the Indiana Fever.
It is Groundhog's Day once again, Monty Belanos.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It sure is.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Did Pablo Tory investigate the Lakers? Did he give us
all the details on that?
Speaker 6 (00:58):
I'm just wondering, like he investigators?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Okay, so he had no idea even though he's an
investigative journalist when it comes to people doing sketchy things
with money with an NBA team.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
But it's not the Okay, not the Lakers. Okay, got it.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I'm Kawhi Leonard when I need a jumbo tron in
my living room. I go to Dektronics. Ectronics is the
only JumboTron for me. That's probably what Pabulatory is investigating
the Lakers. The Lakers for whatever may happen with Mark
Walter two billion dollars more than when he bought the
Lakers from for year ago.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's pretty good the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
He flipped them.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
That was a good turnaround.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Yeah, like if.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Flipping a house that was undone so quickly.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
If only the WNBA could flip the script, but it
ends up always being the same script.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
They need to tear down the house completely. There's no
flipping the WNBA.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
There's they need a one eighty. They don't need the
three sixty to get back to where they are. They
need the one eighty. And last night's story is not
what happened after the fever routed the New York Liberty.
That's what Stephanie White and others. I honestly thought, I
just silenced my phone yesterday.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
On that You just had your phone, not silent. It's fine.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Well, I wish the WNBA would be silenced, Yeah, because
they just keep talking and things keep happening, and I
just continue to scratch my head and say huh, and
if you don't know what we're talking about. It was
a pregame press conference from Stephanie White of the Indiana
Fever Monzi, who made a bunch of headlines for what
she said, how she said it, in the way that
(02:34):
she left the press conference. We here at Fox Sports
Radio and Stu gottson Company Live are going to bring
you the entire Stephanie White press conference, but we're going
to do it almost in a four part play. This
is Act one Stephanie White pregame last night prior to
the New York Liberty on the heels of the various controversies,
(02:57):
including the Djna Carrington follow on Sophie Cunningham and Stephanie
White also responding to her comments that she made in
saying that she didn't see the foul and stuck up
for Djingne Carrington after that game against the Chicago Sky.
This is part one, Act one of Stephanie White last night.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
This is more for an online community that's trying to
create narratives that simply don't exist, trying to create a
fabrication or disortion.
Speaker 8 (03:27):
Of who I am, of.
Speaker 9 (03:29):
What I'm about.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
Our players success our player's health and wellness. Our player
safety is always a top priority for me. One of
the things I pride myself on is my relationships with players.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
So I think she's talking about two separate things at
the beginning. When she talks about a portion of the
community trying to trying to divide the WMBA, I think
that could be wrong. I think like that could be
Clay Travis trying to start as Nashville balls team. That's
(04:01):
what I think of having the men play against the women.
I can understand why the WMBA is. I don't want that.
Can I hear act one just one more time, Chris Burfett,
So when you hear that first line, that's who I
think that she's referencing.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
You're probably right on that.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
This is more.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
For an online community that's trying to create narratives. Yeah, yeah,
simply don't exist, trying to create a fabrication or disortion.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Of who I am, of.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
What I'm about now that changes our.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
Players success, our player's health and wellness. Our player safety
is always a top priority for me.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
One of the things I pride myself on is my
relationships with players.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
You're it's funny because she's like, these narratives that aren't there,
that we're making up. But I'm sorry, I actually have
not seen you straight up defend your players the way
I think you should have with everything that has surrounded
the Indiana fever. I straight up lie right there. We're
not these narratives. We're not pulling them out of nowhere.
(05:02):
It is something that you have actually done the last
couple of years. In my opinion, we can even talk
about Alyssa Thomas and the fists to the throat of
Caitlin Clark when she spoke on that she definitely gave
more grace to Alyssa Thomas than I thought needed to
be because it was your player that was with the
fist in their throat. Even what we said yesterday with
(05:25):
Cunningham and Djne caring tens like, even if you believe that,
you don't say that because that's your team. You stand
by your team entirely, and you have not done that.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I agree wholeheartedly. And at some point in this segment
we'll probably play what Stephanie White had to say after
the foul, But I want people to get lost in
this entire speech that Stephanie White made here is act too.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
For those who have anything to say about the play
in the last game, I didn't see the play in
real time.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
I went straight to a press conference.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
I thought the play got called right, thankfully Sophie's Okay,
was it egregious?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
When you have a chance to watch that over and
over and over on replay, you can see that I
didn't have that in real time.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
What I laughed when I heard that the first time,
I laughed out loud.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
It reminds me of the guy who cheated in golf,
the Thief yesterday, who said, I mean we were giving
shots back to the field. I mean, that's what we
were doing like that. That was the excuse. That's her excuse.
She didn't she didn't have the real real time. But
that's not her fault that she didn't have the real time.
She didn't see it. But now when she's saying that
she didn't see the clip, we've now seen see the
(06:38):
foul in its entirety. You're saying it's splattered all over
social media.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Oh, it was one of the funniest clips after this
that there is the foul and standing right behind the
fowl with her arms crossed.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
On the sideline is Stephanie White.
Speaker 10 (06:51):
It looked like she had a clear view of what happened,
and even if you did it okay, Even if you
did it Sophie Cunningham's reaction should have enough for you
to know that it was not okay.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
That is your default. Your default is your team. Yes,
when you don't have the information, you don't default to
the other side and say it's not.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
That bad, great point.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Your default is to support your team, and she did
not do that. After this intermission, we now take you
to Act three of The Stephanie White Show.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
I take personally any suggestions that I don't one hundred
always have my players back. I ride with them ten
toes down all the time.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
All the time. They know that it's a shame that
we can't have an.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Opportunity to talk about what great basketball they're playing because
they are playing. The reality is with me, I will
always lead with love, I will always lead with grace,
I will always lead with humility, and I will always
lead with integrity.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
Doesn't mean I'll always get it right. I'm also human.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
The hate, the fear mongering, the divisiveness, the stuff that's
trying to hijack.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Our league will not win. It won't win. We are united,
we are connected, we will not be divided.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Where was all of this before you were personally attacked?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Sure, where was this statement?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Because said enough?
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Yeah, it changed that the tone of the of the
statement changed.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I also think that the head coach of the Indiana
Fever is not an easy job. But when she says
I ride with my players ten toes down one hundred
percent of the time, and she's coming off of a
game where she didn't ride with her players right like
I would say ninety eight point five percent of the time.
Because the last time it didn't seem like she was
riding with Sophie Cunningham and the other Caitlyn Clark instances
(08:45):
or whatever the case may be. She could say that
she was, but in this since then again she defaulted
to the other team while her own player was sitting
there bloodied after the unnecessary foul, and then it becomes
a change of they are unified. Let's talk about great basketball.
If Jimmy Butler Karl Anthony Towns in the face and
(09:08):
drew blood in a game, because there's a little history
between the two and Mike Brown after the game sat
down and said, well, Jimmy Butler is a great player.
I'm sure he probably didn't mean anything by it. Could
you imagine what the New York media would have done.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Not fly Oh no, no.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And by the way, that has nothing to do with
transgenders playing. That has nothing to do with race in
the WNBA, That has nothing to do with heterosexuals or
homosexuals in the WNBA. This is a player committing a
foul on your player in drawing blood, and you defaulting
to the other team's player by saying they probably didn't
(09:47):
mean it. It probably wasn't that bad. They're they're good playing.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
She's tough, she's tough like those.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
That is the issue, which, by the way, is more
basketball than you can It's about team, it's about players,
and if your sticky up for the other player, that
means you're not sticking up for your player, which tells
me that you're also not unified. Then in the way,
so that whole Act three was basically a lie with
the numbers, with the words, with the unifying all of that.
(10:13):
Complete bs, it's not the reality.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
No, it's not.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
In this Act three, I'm telling you, I felt like
she changed the script I feel like we moved to
a different play.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Sure now moving on later into the program.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Yeah, it's like, wait, how did we shift to this? Okay,
all right? Do we have the final act?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
All right?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Well, now we do because it ends with a with
a grand finale. Okay, let's go the final act. Give
me the fireworks from Stephanie White.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
Every day these women put their ass on the line.
Every day when they go low, we go high.
Speaker 11 (10:43):
Love will win, Grace will win, Humility will win, and
kindness will win. I stand by them. I will always
stand by them. Everybody else can go to hill.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Kindness will win, go to hell. Well, within ten seconds
of each other, Grace will win, Love will win, go
to hell, Love, grace, kindness will all win, go to hell.
What a what a cherry on top? Magnificent. She wants
(11:20):
the league like it was before. Just go, just go
off in a far do whatever you do. Just That's
that's what Stephanie White wants. I'm what really resonates with me.
Manci Is you knew this was a moment, This was
a pregame speech, This had been written, this had been
gone over hours. I'm sure she read it to her
(11:42):
her partner, Lisa Salters, who you know from the ESPN broadcast,
like is this gonna is this you know for media wise,
is this going to be good? And that this was
the opportunity to do it, and it just completely missed
the mark, like an Angelry's layup, like it was just
it was brick city. It did to dress the real issues.
We are actually talking about basketball. We're talking about you
(12:04):
not sticking up for your player, which isn't something coming
from the outside. It's at any level of basketball whatsoever.
So you can talk about kindness, you can talk about love,
you can talk about going to hell. She completely missed
the mark in what she read yesterday.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
I also feel like, if you're trying to deliver a
speech and trying to make a make a point and
get a message across that you really want people to
resonate with, you can't be angry when delivering the message.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You can't. And so throughout this entire thing, she was angry.
She was mad, but it felt like you're mad.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Because you're getting personally attacked because I haven't heard you
say any of this when the attacks were around your
team or other.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Women in the WNBA. So I don't know where this was.
But from the beginning.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
She seems like she's on the defensive things, on the
defensive side of things, and I don't. It's like it
didn't resonate, It didn't hit the way you think, the
way you thought because you were just angry the whole time,
and you didn't You didn't even again, you switched plays
in that third act.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
We completely missed the message there. You went from one
message and then you took us to somewhere else. So
it didn't work. It didn't work like you said planned.
Who knows how many times she read it. It was
not effective.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
We all know people who have a difficult time accepting fault.
Some are better than others, right, But do we know
the people that have a hard time doing it? What
they do is they deflect? Will they point out something
else that somebody else did wrong. I think she understands
that she was wrong in that situation. Heck, she even
kind of admitted it, saying like I didn't see the replay,
(13:36):
But she didn't take accountability for that. She didn't explain
why she defaulted to taking Djna Carrington's side and not
Sophie Cunningham's side. And I think that's also the reason.
Maybe like why she's angry, and she's angry at herself,
so she's angry at everything else. But at this time
she may have showed her true colors or showed her
(13:56):
colors at the time of how she feels. Because the
anger and the statement makes it seem like you don't
want anybody talking about this league, and the league isn't unified.
It still isn't after these couple of years. I don't
know what the NBA is is unified, but I'll tell
you what. Like as a whole, they sure seem to
be on a on a variety of topics. There are rivalries.
(14:17):
They're Jimmy Butler, Karl Anthony Towns. You know, Jalen Green,
Kid Cunningham don't like each other like there's there's a
there's there's rivalries within the rival reason of how things
are going. The djn A Carrington rivalry has been around
for a while, so you know it's there. So if
there was anybody to commit a foul on your player
that you would go against, it would be Djna Carrington
(14:39):
for what she has tried to do to Caitlin Clark
or to Sophie Cunningham. In this instance, this isn't that
player's first time, So you can't tell us that you're
unified when there's obviously the divide between those players. They
want to make it at all kumba ya sort of
thing and keep everybody else out. We're actually talking about basketball,
that's the thing, Mounts. This is an actual basketball thing,
(15:02):
and that's all that they want us to talk about.
If this would have happened in the NBA, the New
York media would have taken Mike Brown and raked them
over the coals if he didn't stand up for his player.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Absolutely, and I like what you said, you're right. She
didn't even acknowledge it. She should have said you're right.
So I let Sophie.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Down on that.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
That was my bad.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Yes, that's just that line. I let Sophie down. That
wasn't my intention at the time. I won't do that again.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
But she didn't. She did not do that. You're so right.
She went around it.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
She made us believe that she was leading in that direction,
but then she never got there. She took a turn
and it was like, oh, okay, so we've moved on
from this. I agree with you that it's tough. It's
got to be tough. To be the Indiana Fever coach,
it has to be tough. But the stuff that I
feel like I'm being critical with her about are things
that I think are obvious, like you didn't have you
(15:49):
have not had your team's back multiple times, and perfect
example of dj A Carrington. Like I told you, I
don't even know if we said it during the show,
if I said it to you in the pre show,
that I shouldn't be able to see all the terrible
fouls that djn A Carrington has done over her career.
If this was a one off, if this was just
a one random Oh she played tough here, then I
(16:10):
should not be able to see all of these other
fouls that have come up because this happened. It's not
your first time. And like you said, Stephanie White, you
knew that, you knew that it wasn't the first offense
against your own team, but it wasn't dj Carrington's first offense.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Just in general, she tends to foul fell real, real, real,
real hard. If not pull your hair when you're coming down.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Stephanie White, in a summation of your word, says, the
buck stops here because it happened to me. Like, that's
that's what. It's not that the buck stops here. It's well,
now it happened to me, So now now we're gonna
put a set.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Yes, now it's not just Caitlin Clark getting the death threats. Okay,
now I'm mad.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
It wasn't tense the entire two minute speech because there
was one moment of levity. O why okay, at least
for me, is when the reporter thought that Stephanie White
had stop to take questions. All right, this is what
that sounded like.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
You can see that I didn't have that in real time.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
I take personally. I mean I thought she was done too.
I get it.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
There was no novel, we'll be taking questions. It was
a dramatic pause.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Give it up for that reporter though. He was like,
I'm gonna I'm gonna be the one. I'll try me.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
See.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I thought his grace period was sufficient. Yes, yes, I
thought it was very sufficient. A but I think was
a light moment in what seemed to be a tense
situation in Indiana. Caitlin Clark did address Stephanie White's comments
after the fever rout of the Liberty there.
Speaker 12 (17:50):
Was no way we were losing this game for her,
and you know it's tough, Like that's my head coach.
Like I hated that our fans booed her before the game.
That made me a little sick, to be honest. And
you can disc and this and that, and I get it,
it's professional sports. People are going to boo but like,
at the end of the day, that's our head coach,
and we're going to ride for her and we're always
going to have our back and that's never going to
tear our locker room apart.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
I think what's what's key is I don't think that
they I don't think that the ten fifteen thousand fans
that that watched the game last night knew about Stephanie
White's comments pregame. I think they booed her for what
she didn't say with the Stephanie Cunningham agreed. So Sophie
Cunningham follow from dj A Carrington. Now that's why I
think she got booted, not from what she said in
the two minutes prior, because those things don't get out
(18:32):
to the media as quickly as you would think they would.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
But what a great answer by Kaitlyn Clark.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Sure, what a great answer because you know, I I
also think Caitlin Clark doesn't love Stephanie.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Why.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
You can just kind of see the way that they
have handled each other in their three years together, you
know what I'm saying, Like you can tell that there's
a little bit of I don't know what it is,
That's what I think watching it from the side. But yet,
like you said, she's still defended her coach.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
She's still she did with default, default to defend my coach,
even if I don't feel like it.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Jason Stewart's the show's executive producer. I know you love this, WNBA.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
She's been remiling.
Speaker 13 (19:10):
Yes, I do. If they go low, we're gonna go high.
Now go to hell. Going to hell is the lowest
of Well. I thought that was great. I do like
the fact that Stephanie White in this moment is really
trying to like take up for her and her league
against all these online people. The online people that are
(19:32):
instigating this derisiveness, I guess, are the division, and within
her two minute SoundBite she's creating, she's making the division wider.
Like over the last twenty four hours, those same people
that were riding her for not reacting the right way
just exacerbated their reaction, like she didn't do anything to
(19:56):
calm the waters here. There was no de escalation in
this moment.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
And I think that by her getting booed again, I
think the fans boot her for how she reacted to it.
Those aren't fifteen thousand bots sitting in the stands. Those
aren't actual people who aren't hiding behind avatars that let
you know how they feel. So don't think that this
is a you know, a right wing conspiracy sort of thing.
There are point like there's there's again you know, Clay
(20:24):
Travis and Clay doing the the Nashville Balls thing and
and his freedom and all that. It's that's, that's all whatever, okay,
And I think that in a way she's trying to
attack that stuff. I think so too, But ultimately she
is missing the mark on what is a big problem
(20:45):
within the league, and that is the division that's there.
So while she wants to tell everybody there to you know,
go to hell, she's missing out which right in front
of her, and that she became a victim to by
defaulting to her to the comments that she made prior's
it's tough. I I gave her the benefit of the
(21:05):
doubt so much because I thought it's a tough spot
to be. It's really one of the toughest head coaching
spots to be, I think, in because of how Caitlin
Clark and now Sophie Cunningham draws so much attention in
a certain way. You have to be really, really good
at it, and it's why the first coach is gone
and Stephanie White ended up moving in. But now it
(21:25):
feels like in a way she's either cracking under the
pressure or just now is letting her own feelings come out,
which isn't unifying by any means.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gotson Company

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Our Next Guest has called some of baseball's biggest moments,
including postseason Baseball, All Star Games, World Series coverage.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
He has done it all.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
His name is synonymous his voices as well with the
sport of baseball, and now he's helping usher in a
new era of baseball on Netflix the Field of Dreams
game August thirteenth, he'll be calling at Philly's Twins coverage
at six thirty pm Eastern first match at seven point thirty.
Mett Vis Scourgeon is with us, and right before he
came on he was complaining about his eyesight and the
(22:17):
readers that he is currently wearing. The last time I
spoke to you, you didn't have those glasses on that.
Speaker 14 (22:23):
No, it's about fifteen pounds ago to a couple of cheeseburgers. Later,
here we are, I can't see you know I actually
brought this is a true story, yes that maybe you
can identify with I hope not. I brought a half
dozen pair of pants to the tailor, this lovely Italian
lady in Midland Park, where near where I live, And
I said, look, I got a problem here. Not only
(22:45):
do we have to take them out, you got to
take them up. So I'm getting fatter and shorter, ye,
by god, truth at fifty eight years old, fatter shorter,
can't see the hand in.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
Front of my face?
Speaker 14 (22:59):
Stay high? What a catch I am. My wife's a
wonderful woman.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Father time is undefeated. Man, you know that hicking my butt?
So the readers I have maintained forever. Do you get
yours at a at a pharmacy like a Walgreens a
CBS or something like.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
That, Yes, sir, three for twelve bucks.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, Grant and Foster or something Foster and Grant, something
like that.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
Yeah, yes, yeah, or you know Walgreens China, whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Right, it's the greatest scam going because you'll buy a
three pack and how quickly will it take you to
lose all three of the glasses you have purchased.
Speaker 14 (23:32):
It depends on how many car trips or airplane rides
all beyond, because it's one per I've donated so many
readers to United Airlines collection, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Man, I don't like how conscious self conscious you are
about your aging.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It's okay, Matt, you look great, you look conscious.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Yes, it's self loathing. I am a self loathing Armenian man.
That's that's what I am.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
How excited are you to call this game? And it's
an to call this game. It's a big deal.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
It is, No, it is a big deal. I can't wait.
Speaker 14 (24:07):
Not only is the setting awesome, and the previous runnings
of this game have been fantastic successes that the kind
of you know, the Netflix treatment of this I think
is going to be even better, not to speak ill
of any previous rights holders. I just think that they've
reimagined a few things. There's going to be some fun.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
The packaging of it is going to be great.
Speaker 14 (24:29):
And by the way, we got a good game here too,
because when we found out it was Phillies Twins, We're.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
Like, okay, well we can talk about the Phillies.
Speaker 14 (24:38):
But the Twins have played themselves into postseason relevance this
year in a really kind of parody filled Ale Central
that they're every bit a team that could not only
grab a wild card spot, but a division title this year.
They're they're better than advertised. So we got a good game.
We got good people involved. I mean, I love spending
(24:59):
time with the group that Netflix has put together with
c C and Albert, Riz Hunter's and Lauren.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
It's a fun group, so I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 15 (25:07):
Man on the topic of the Phillies, a retiree recently
won an auction to join the Phillies radio booth to
call an inning. Lewis Cobb absolutely crushed it, and I'm wondering,
you know how hard play by play is, even though
you make it look easy. What did you think about
Lewis Cobb's performance.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Are you.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I heard about it?
Speaker 14 (25:26):
Yeah, I heard about it. I heard that Lewis Cobb
killed it. I haven't heard it yet, full disclosure. But
you know, look, I've said this for a long time.
There are three things that all fans think they can
do in baseball better than the people.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
That do it.
Speaker 14 (25:43):
Be a GM yep, I forget what the third one is.
The second one is be a play by play guy.
And then there's a third one. The only one to
write about is play by play guy. I think the
problem that most most fans are better than we are.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
Let's face it.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yes, I think manager is the third Perhaps.
Speaker 9 (25:58):
Manager exactly, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Mike frances The thought he could manage the Mets. He did,
I mean, did he really?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yes? At one point? Yes, yes, listen, he could do
any worse.
Speaker 14 (26:14):
Hey, they should have gotten rid of the whole team earlier.
They're playing really good baseball.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Right now, yes, when they don't need to be playing
good baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (26:35):
Matt, I'm glad you said that people think it's easy
because I have two sounds that I want you to
listen to. From twenty ten, Stu Gotts had an opportunity
to call a Marlins game with Marlin's team president at
the time, David Samson. This is the first sound from
that game.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
All right, great at Matt, So this is a pretty
big apat stuff?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Does that include the shot he took in the face
when he was catting in the on basis, so.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
You got to stop talking when there's a hit.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Logan Morrison with a big bass hit up the right
side and Martinez slides in it first first at third.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
No out here in the bottom of the third inning.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Somewhere in there you can hear right the building blocks
of a great play by play man.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Correct, no doubt.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
You cleaned it up at the end, and you talked
through the action. But who cares?
Speaker 14 (27:19):
That's one of my pet peeves, Like maybe on the
radio you're not supposed to talk through the action, But
if you're doing a game on TV, we can see,
the viewer can see that it's a ground ball to second,
throw to first, got him two away.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
Why do you need me to say that?
Speaker 14 (27:33):
But the old school Ronnie radio kind of starch caller
play by play guy still likes to use all those words. Yes,
I think you were closer to being good than you
thinks to gouts.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I did have a guy sliding into first base though,
But did he slide yes, but he's slid in the third.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
Oh that's a problem, so Matt.
Speaker 15 (27:56):
Then we have this sound from from a little later
in the.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Carpenter deal, some chin music. Did you get me?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Sand checks?
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Chin music normally isn't swung at an.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I got news for you. I was getting chim music in.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
No matter what today this is radio stew I was getting.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
So that's a levantard in the background laughing. It's not easy.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I gotta be honest with you, doing play by play
when you have a guy standing behind you who's just
laughing at you, you know, judging you.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
You know.
Speaker 14 (28:27):
Yeah, oh that's much much of my careers.
Speaker 9 (28:31):
It does make it harder, you're right. Yes.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Glenn Geffner, who was the voice of the Marlins at
the time, pulled me aside and said, hey, there's something
in there. It needs some work, but there is something.
The building blocks are there.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
He could hear it, you know.
Speaker 14 (28:43):
Did you ever want to do. It was that something
that when you were a younger guy you wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
No, I wanted to do exactly what it is I'm doing,
But they gave me the opportunity, and perhaps, you know,
I thought for a second, maybe I could parlay it
into something and turn into the next Matt prescursion or
boog Shandy, and I blew it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I mean, that's it.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Nah, You're doing just fine. Man.
Speaker 14 (29:01):
We all want to do what everybody else is doing, right.
It's it's like the old baseball players want to be musicians.
Musicians want to be baseball players. The same thing with
studio hosts versus play by play guys. You're all jealous
of the other person's ecosystem for all the wrong reasons.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, it's such a difficult thing to do, though. Man,
you make it sound and look so easy. How do
you do that? Man?
Speaker 9 (29:25):
You know it's I like it too much to not
do it like that.
Speaker 14 (29:30):
I just I guess I probably knew that I wanted
to do this well before I started down the road.
I mean it sounds cliche, but I was that geeky
kid who when everybody else was out skateboarding and looking
at you know, girls and dating. I was home listening
to the Oakland A's on the radio in the late
seventies when they were really crummy.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
But those were my teams. Yes, And you know, you
kind of go.
Speaker 14 (29:53):
Through the You got the fake microphone, you got the
tape recorders set up, you got a fake scorecard. And
I see it now materialized in my eleven year old
boy who's crazy for the NBA in the NFL, and
he's downstairs watching calls on YouTube and he's doing his
Joe Davis call. And you know, I told Joe the
other day I saw, I'm like, my son, does you?
Speaker 9 (30:14):
He does you?
Speaker 14 (30:14):
He's got your intonations And I tell him, like, you know,
I do that job too.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Son. It's like, yeah, but these guys, I like these guys.
But okay, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You're just an old man, your dad. Yeah, right, right,
who needs readers? Joe Davis doesn't any readers. I mean,
come on, yeah, that's right. Oh god, what'd you make
of I'm not interested in whether or not the Dodgers
are good for baseball or not. They're good for baseball, Okay,
let's just say that. What'd you make of the Brewers.
You have your Milwaukee shirt on right now and you
(30:45):
are the voice of the Brewers. Would you make of
Milwaukee not going after school? But I totally understand why
they didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I do too.
Speaker 14 (30:54):
I would have loved to have heard the compensation package
that led the Tigers to going with the la offer, right.
I think they were involved. I think they wanted to
be in that sweepstakes along with Tampa. I actually thought
the Phillies were going to land him because Dave Dombrowski's
a big game hunter and he got a great ad
(31:15):
in Luisa Rise. But if you're going to win two
to one games, you do it by bolstering and already
pretty good starting staff.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
I don't know that the Brewers were out bid.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
It felt like because of the timing of it, Stu Gods,
to be honest, it felt like the Tigers said decided
that was going to be the offer. And when you
when you close any competing bid thirty hours before a deadline,
you've already met up your mind somehow, which I thought
was weird.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Right, But for the Brewers to do that and give
up prospects and not be able to sign them with
no guarantee of winning a World Series. If you get
them and not being able to sign them to a
four hundred million dollar contract in the off season, why
would you do it?
Speaker 14 (31:56):
You know, look in two two thousand and eight when
they went out and got CC and he literally really
put the whole team on his shoulders and put him
into the postseason. It was a very short postseason run
to mortgage the future, as you said, And their whole
calculus is with Jackson, Curio, with Pratt, with Lara. These
young guys, get him there, sign him to reasonable contracts,
(32:16):
buy the arbitration years, and try to win with a
young corps before you have to overpay for a thirty
two year old starter.
Speaker 9 (32:22):
That's their methodology.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Field of Dreams. Where does that rank for you in
terms of all time movies?
Speaker 14 (32:29):
It's pretty close to the top because I've only seen
it once.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
I saw it in the theater when it was released.
I think what was at eighty nine something like that.
Speaker 14 (32:38):
Right time day Snip, I was working as a tour
guide at Universal Studios and I finished my shift with
the mechanical King Kong attraction in the one hundred and
seventy five pseudo French English Speakers that were delighted to
hear about my phil stories about Clint Eastwood and.
Speaker 9 (32:55):
Magnum Forest being shot on New York Street.
Speaker 14 (32:57):
And I walked to the Cineplex odeon and I watched
with a couple of guys. I watched Field Dreams on
the big screen, and I told myself, this sounds corny.
I told myself it was such a moving experience that
I was never going to watch this again, like on
a TV screen or now on a phone years later.
I think I almost have to now because I'm going
there and everybody tells me that the house is the
(33:18):
same like it's you're going to visit the actual set.
Speaker 9 (33:22):
So Field of Dreams for me is.
Speaker 14 (33:24):
Probably top two top three baseball films of all time,
no doubt.
Speaker 9 (33:30):
And probably in my top twenty overall.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yes, and now you get to call game there. I mean,
think about that from the theater to the game. By
the way, you must have been so good filling time
and the more whatever you're kid.
Speaker 9 (33:43):
You know, that's probably where I got my best I
thought about this.
Speaker 14 (33:47):
My best training is a play by play guy probably
came there, you know, like you're on this tram. It
breaks down, it's hot, it's you know, there's smog everywhere.
Speaker 9 (33:57):
It's the late eighties.
Speaker 14 (33:58):
I'm like, hey, here we are in six Points, Texas.
You know this is where Max Carey used to film
some of his famous silent westerns. And people are looking
at you with drool coming out of their mouth like
they don't give a rip about what you're saying. They
want to see the Jaws shark.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, yes, and you feel the need to talk. Field
That Dreams Game.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Phillies and Twins coverage begins at six thirty pm Eastern.
First pitch with Matt at seven thirty pm Eastern. And
it's going to be a fun night, a fun game.
I'm certain it will be fun for Matt as well.
We appreciate this, man. I would like to have you
around here more. I want to talk to you more. Man,
how come I have to wait for the Field of
Dream Game.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
To get you on?
Speaker 9 (34:38):
Dude, you know where to find me. I got very
little going on, honestly, I'm here.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
You know.
Speaker 14 (34:43):
I just watched faceball day. Really, that's all I do.
And I get ignored by my family.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
All right, let's grow all together. You and I do
it all right? Thank you talking to you guys.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Enjoy the game, man, I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 9 (34:53):
Yeah, appreciate it. Thanks guys, all.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Right, thank you.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Stu Gotson Company live on Fox Sports Radio. She's Monty Belano,
So I'm damn buyer in for Stewing Company. We're gonna
end this show as Russell Westbrook ended his NBA career,
So we teased it. We just don't have a lot
of time at this point to really give the proper
respect to a career that comes to an end for
a top seventy five player.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Absolutely, but what we can.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Do is we could talk to the handshake champion of
the world, Mancy Belanos. Now, for those that don't know,
Montie also works for the Dodgers, and yesterday it was
an opportunity where you got some FaceTime with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Sure did, Sure did. He's so great he met with
all of us.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
But yeah, I posted this picture so you can go
see it. But I posted a picture of our handshake
because so many people don't know how to properly shake
hands Dan, and it drives me not I hate shaking
a limp hand, I hate jackish like whatever you want
to call. There's so many variations of claw this that
you don't know how to shake a hand shake. You
(35:58):
put your hand and you shake it, and your firm
and your strength, and you could see both of our
arm muscles in that handshake.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
We were looking at each others. It was like we
were locked in. It was nice. It was such a
proper handshake. Learn how to do that.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
People Brett Fare would say, put it in the vice,
like that's what it would lock it in tight.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yes, I thought it was.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
A great handshake. I gotta be honest.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
I sent it to you, Jason right away.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Show it to me. Don't worry.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
If you've missed it and you're not on the group
chat with Manzi, you could go to Instagram, you could
go to Twitter or x is it. I'm sure it's
going to be on TikTok.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
This handshake.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Maybe it's the handshake of all handshakes. Find her at
Manzi Blanios on all platforms. Find me at Dan Bayer
on Fox Manzi. Would you rather have season tickets or
the Sunday ticket that's next.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Yeah,
